Many an Illusion about BOTlet Russia has been dispelled In these few fierce weeks of fighting In the arctic circle." - Even as Churchill spoke, fur ther evidence of Britain's prepa ration for intensification of the conflict came in an authoritative announcement that men 23 years Of age would be called upon to register for military service the aecond or third week in February. These, it was said, probably would be pressed into action earlier than younger groups al ready called to the colors. The first week of government comtrol of butchering preparatory to meat rationing throughout Britain brought reports of a scarcity of meat. The British air force boasted of new reconnaissance flights over northwest Germany. Five sailors were reported miss ing after the British ship Mile End sank in a collision with a trawler.

The warship picked up the Pajala's captain and crew of 35.

Apparently noting Mr. Roose velt's statement that no spiritual or civil leader could move for ward at this time "on a specific plan" to terminate existing wars but the time for that would sure ly come, His Holiness said: "We are fully aware of how stubborn the obstacles are that stand in the way of attaining this (peace) goal, and how they be come daily more difficult to sur mount. "And if the friends of peace do not wish their labors to be in vain, they should visualize distinctly the seriousness of these obstacles, and the consequent slight probability of immediate success so long as the present state of the opposing forces remains essentially un changed." The pope said he had been "deeply moved" by the message from the president, whom he called at one point the "chief mag istrate of the great North Ameri can federation."
